Launched on Thursday, the new Perodua Myvi has taken the country by storm. But a question on a lot of people’s minds is, well, what’s next? Specifically, what would happen if Perodua decides to build a sedan version of the Myvi, like how it built the Bezza out of the Axia?
Wonder no more – Photoshop rendering wizard Theophilus Chin has used his skills to visualise what a four-door Myvi would look like, and it doesn’t actually look too bad. The longer, lower body suits the conversion better than its tall, boxy predecessor, and even the rather ungainly Bezza.
The front end is identical to the donor car, and the six-window glasshouse has been retained, giving the sedan a sleeker profile than the Bezza. Around the back, the short deck incorporated classy L-shaped tail lights and a number plate recess relocated on the tailgate instead of the bumper. The black rear valance with integrated dual exhaust exits is unlikely to be on the production version, however.
To recap, the new third-generation Myvi has been designed completely in house featuring greater sophistication, equipment levels and safety. Longer, wider but lower than before, it gets items such as standard-fit LED headlights, keyless entry, push-button start and stability control, as well as an integrated Touch ‘n Go reader, up to six airbags and autonomous emergency braking.
Power comes from new 1.3 and 1.5 litre engines from the Toyota NR family with DOHC and Dual VVT-i. The smaller 1NR-VE is the same engine found on the Bezza, and it makes 94 hp at 6,000 rpm and 121 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The larger 2NR-VE, on the other hand, has been lifted from the Toyota Vios, and it produces 102 hp at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm at 4,200 rpm.
What do you think of Theophilus’ effort? Sound off in the comments after the jump. You can also read our comprehensive launch report as well as our first impressions review.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Gud job Theo!! Looking alike da more senior Vios wif distinctive modern Sporty Keen Look.
Just look at Proton’s lame & highly desperate response to new Myvi:
– online & newspaper spam ads everyday
– jual Pantun
– irrelevant Sepang race victory
– free service
– dark roof
– etc. zzzz
What a joke by Proton! LoL!
Nobody’s going to buy Vios then. . .
I highly doubt that toyota would allow this to happen. They are not stupid to allow their own vios sales to be cannibalize
Not really. If Perodua going to compete with city, almera etc. I think myvi based sedan will surely become hot seller and Toyota will directly benefit from it
buy Myvi, time tested and hold RV very well.
sell time, you dont need to top up your loan by 10k
Yup. my new 2016 Persona $60k.
2017 sum insured left $40K….damm saddings
Myvi sedan sure will sell like hotcake. U see bezza only u knw, everywhr u go there is bezza on the road.
If myvi sedan really happening, these 4 axia, myvi, bezza n myvi sedan only enuff to cause trafic jem in our country.
If Perodua planning on to produce such cars, the B-segment sedan market would be a blast, with significant amount of competition from other brand like those of Toyota Vios, Honda City, Proton Persona, Mazda 2, Ford Fiesta.
Talking about the latter one, Perodua would probably spawn a new generation Kembara/Nautica like those EcoSport from a Fiesta platform. Imo, based on their new Myvi platform, which is an alteration of the current ones with improved rigidity and quality, I’d say hey lets welcome a new 4×4 from Perodua. Which also means, a probability of an AWD Myvi.
Launched on Thursday, the new Perodua Myvi has taken the country by storm????? are you fking kidding me? or u kaki say kaki siok
PT not abang maslan kaki siok. Hah3
Welcome back!
Renault Fluence vibes on the rear
Nice!
Sedan name it as Perodua MyVios
Tens of thousands confirmed Myvi bookings.
Even before it was unveiled and seen by fellow Malaysians speak volumes of Perodua trusted reputation and reliable Toyota Group products.
To Perodua, bright future ahead.
To Proton, please step up your game, real bad.
No iriz no new myvi
Look good to go.
Myvi sedan will be vios n city killer becoz of it’s good safety features.
No!!! Don’t kill the Saga & Persona!….
More like city and vios!!!
No problem, city and vios very much alive in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines
can see the rear has been cut and paste from a HRV , but like all TC’s work, looks awesome
I can guarantee that as long as the Toyota Vios is still sold in Malaysia, UMW Toyota will not allow P2 to create a Myvi sedan.
Redesign the headlights..
Good job Theo.. But I think Myvi sport wagon will be great..
Who will buy vios if myvi sedan launch…
city too
Better looking than the Persona!
Still with tonggek style, haiya
Good, Really hope Myvi also produce Sedan base on new Myvi. 1.5 L. That should be great. n at the affordable price say between 52k tp 65K for the top model.
I anticipate that n sure to buy one. Prefer sedan than the hatch back, although not deny that the current hatch back is really nice .
I dont see anything interesting here
Take my money…
Lol, theo. The more publicly you’re releasing your concept drawings, the higher chance they do get taken in by Perodua’s design R&D division.
Easy job for them, no credit for you.
But 5* for creativity, I like what you do
Bravo again, Theo! What’s wrong with putting up a Sedan version for our new MyVi? Nothing wrong lah….just like Vento (VW Sedan) complementing the Polo (hatch) and RIGHTFULLY, that sedan should be properly named BEZZA and our current Bezza should be replaced by this MyVi derivation instead – best to let our current Alza be a standalone A-segment hatch for good
But Perodua is an association of manufacturers or suppliers with the purpose of maintaining prices at a high level and restricting competition cause Perodua doesnt allow other brands like Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Honda, Toyota, Nissan to be at the top, only Perodua is only wanted itself to be at the top which is very selfish, highly offensive, snobbish, awful and disrespectful to other car brands. Lastly don’t buy Perodua and also hopefully Perodua sales will keep on dropping
Vios killer

Another news from inside source. P2 is working on a compact SUV based on the Terios
theo’s rendering are epic as usual…. damn nice…. paultan blogger has been praising his works for years….
The rear end seems like a mix of Mazda 2 Sedan and 2017 Subaru Impreza
This car will wipe out the whole range of Proton. Better for Proton to just tutup kedai
Unfortunately not close yet
You should see the number of proton showrooms closing down in penang
If perodua really pull this one, it’s rival would be vios or city. Not persona anymore. Maybe…
As if toyota would let it happen anyway
Restrain abit lah. Enough giving hard time to proton. They are our fellow countrymen too.
Perodua should consider hire Theophilus Chin as their designer. This sedan design look better than the original hatchback.
Why the bontot must be tonggek?
It look So Awesome. Kalau keluar MYVI SEDAN konfem nk beli ni
Can render a basic model with black bumper and steel wheels?
If the Myvi sedan comes out, the Honda City and Toyota Vios can closed shop!
If the Myvi Sedan comes out, the Honda City and Toyota Vios can close shop!
It should share Pontiac vibe sedan…
Of all things, it just had to come up to a sedan? Come on leave Myvi as it is. Even it may please certain people but having car with a big fat ugly high rise back side won’t give justice to a any car. Can’t you at least take cues from Korean or higher end European cars without big high rise back side?
“To recap, the new third-generation Myvi has been designed completely in house featuring greater sophistication, equipment levels and safety”
Sure or not… mcm ambil Toyota Corolla IM nya body je…
kau pun baru tahu pasal corolla IM lepas orang kepoh kata design nk sama. lagi nak doubt. huhu
Myvi sedan looks better.
The back looks like the Mazda 3 Sedan
Org jepun memang suka buntut tonggek mcm bezza….
wah, your MYVI already drop a bomb to competitor..
now again new sedan.. give proton a break lah.. ill miss proton if it suddenly disappears one day. kakaka
